The Ex

Okay, the title is kinda misleading, Ex here actually refers to, Ex-Favourite Phone brand and the Ex-Cellphone Market Big Player. Nokia.

It was indeed my favourite and only phone brand. I always felt it was the smoothest user experience was with Nokia (well, at least true for till 5 years ago). But time changes, hardward no longer is the winning factor, rather the software in it. And it is not catching up fast enough with Google and Apple.

I was browsing at news and saw Nokia came up with these concepts phones. Well, not a bad strategy, i mean not everyone needs or use a smart phone. There are still other markets to go for and these are actually pretty fun-looking for mid-range prices phone.

- The Aroma Phone

Apart from the novelty that it doesn't have a hard-case body, it also emits aroma when u flip.. cool isn't it?

- Shape Shifter

Obviously this and the next selling point are morphing and shifting shapes into different things like watch, or some accessories.

Quite cool, but i prefer the Aroma phone design..

- Kinetic

Some movement oriented phone, basically stands up when it rings and if u dun wanna pick up push it down. Fun, but good enough only as deskphone replacement, i mean who want that chunk of thing below as mobile right?

Well, obviously they need creativity to beat iPhone and Android era now... I am still using nokia, but pretty determine to get the white unicorn iPhone 4 if it ever comes out... I mean how can a gay never try grindr at least once in his life? =p

Okay, this is really an ex, N82-Dragonfly

I used to have a N82, it is definitely my favourite nokia phone. It may not be powerful compare to times like this, but it was definitely the best for its time. Great camera and fastest GPS i ever had experience with. And its plainly on GPS signal without 3G.

If they really make it, I might seriously consider getting it as secondary phone. Just like ex-es i guess... there will only be a chance to be taken back, when something has changed, more precisely has improved.

  8. I used to like Nokia, until their designs just stopped appealing to me.. Then came Sony Ericsson.. And now HTC. I've a knack for big, squarish phones. And i'm anti-iPhone! Grindr is already available on Android, and soon to be on Blackberry lor :P
